TMJ Dislocation:
TMJ Dislocation: Excessive contraction of the lateral pterygoids may cause the jaw to dislocate anteriorly (pass anterior to the anterior tubercles. This could happen during yawning or when taking a large bite. Also sideway blows to the chin when the mouth is open dislocates the TMJ on the side that receives the blow. TMJ dislocation is frequently accompanied by fracture of the mandible. Posterior dislocation of the TMJ is uncommon due to the resistence by the postglenoid tubercle and the strong intrinsic lateral or temporomandibular ligament. Care must be taken during repair in regards to the facial and the auriculotemporal nerve; injury to the auriculotemporal nerve leads to laxity and instability of the TMJ.

TMJ: elevation/depression
lower compartment; as condyle rotates on articular disk;
TMJ: Protrusion/Retraction
Upper compartment; articular disk glides ant/post along temporal bone between mandibular fossa and articular tubericle
Order of TMJ movements
When the joint moves, the lower hinge component of the joint moves first, to initiate mandibular opening (articular disk and condyle). The upper part of the joint, between the articular disc and the mandibular fossa and articular eminence of the temporal bone, creates the gliding component. During joint movement, this gliding cavity moves after the hinge component to terminate mandibular opening.
